Pakistan’s representer Zainab Abbas has been deported from India halfway through the ICC World Cup 2023. The reports in Samaa TV have suggested that ICC has sent her back due to her previous tweets against India and religion.
Zainab Abbas has been accused of being involved in cybercrime as well apart from her previous tweets against India and religion. The Pakistan representative was included in the ICC’s list of presenters for the ICC World Cup 2023. However, after 4 days of action in the tournament she came under scrutiny.
It is learned a lawyer, who is practicing in the Supreme Court of India raised the issue and filed a complaint against Zainab Abbas. The action was taken after “anti-Hindu” and “anti-India,” tweets from her old account with the username “Zainablovesrk” went viral on social media.
Zainab made comments about the Hindu faith and beliefs and anti-Bharat statements almost 9 years ago. She, however, has updated her profile to “ZAbbas Official,” and is currently using this account.
Zainab has been an experienced campaigner in the field of media. She has been part of the ICC for a while now and is one of the prime presenters in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and several other international tournaments.

Ahead of the ICC World Cup, Zainab expressed her excitement about working for ICC in India. She had said:
There was always intrigue on what lies on the other side, more cultural similarities than differences, rivals on the field but camaraderie off the field, the same language & love for art & a country with a billion people, here to represent, to create content & bring in expertise from the best in the business. Humbled to be presenting in India at the Cricket WC2023 for the @ICC again, a journey away from home of 6 weeks starts now.”
